How the Auto Bailout Is Punishing Ford

Ford Motor Co.'s latest earnings report doesn't mention General Motors or Chrysler, its crosstown rivals. But those competitors have a lot to do with Ford's surprising $1 billion profit in the third quarter. » Full Story on news.yahoo.com

Yep in 6 months there will be a new song out called " Here Comes Repo Man, Here Comes Repo Man" Cash for Clunkers was a stupid program.

8 Months ago, Ford argued to provide government aid to the other US auto makers because they were concerned that their suppliers would go bankrupt.

So this isn't something they can blame the government for.

Now that Ford proves it can operate in the black the UAW wants more money. Socialism lovers.

Unions allow lazy employees to get undeserved raises and benefits and wonder why so many manufacturing jobs are going overseas.

I think we should give Ford $100,000,000,000 just to make things even and fair.

Grrr:

This is an easy one.

Ford is an example of Capitalism at work.

GM and Chrysler are examples of Socialism/Marxism at work.


Industry pays the debt, socialism increase it.

I have said this before--Unions must go--they have outlived their usefulness and have destroyed the auto industry. Unfortunately, this will not happen as long as the socialist pig Ovomit is president.

I like the way Rick Newman casuually dismisses the loss of 300,000 jobs. What he doesn't mention is the ripple effect which would cause the loss of thousands of more jobs if Chrysler stop building vehecles. Take for example the computer chip industry. More computer chips are made for automobiles than lap tops and PCs combined. Think about the fact the average automobile, suv, minivan, or truck has over thirty computerized modules per vehicle. What do you think your next laptop, PC, X Box would cost if if your local chip maker lost revenue from the auto industry. This is just one example Mr. Newman overlooked.
